Featuring NSN's signature introspective vocals, 'Unspoken Weight' weaves together gentle acoustic guitar, subtle synth pads, and building, layered harmonies in the chorus to create a rich, emotional soundscape. It's a song for quiet contemplation, for navigating the heavy spaces left behind by what isn't said.
If you've ever felt the weight of unspoken words or experienced the quiet turning away, this song resonates deeply.

Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Built a bridge across the quiet
Spoke my heart in careful light
Waited there for footsteps falling
Heard instead the lonely night
(Pre-Chorus)
Took down walls I thought were strong
Left the door wide open long
(Chorus)
Now the space is heavy, still
An unspoken weight upon the sill
I held it out, a fragile thing
H Heard the silence start to sting
Left myself upon display
Watched you quietly turn away
(Verse 2)
Tried to read the subtle sign
A vacant look, a wandering line
Thought maybe I misunderstood
Or expected more than anyone could
(Pre-Chorus)
Still the air remembers when
I risked it all and stood again
(Chorus)
Now the space is heavy, still
An unspoken weight upon the sill
I held it out, a fragile thing
H Heard the silence start to sting
Left myself upon display
Watched you quietly turn away
(Bridge)
It wasn't harsh, no sudden blow
Just letting go, letting quiet grow
Leaving empty rooms behind
A different kind of cruel design
(Chorus)
Now the space is heavy, still
An unspoken weight upon the sill
I held it out, a fragile thing
H Heard the silence start to sting
Left myself upon display
Watched you quietly turn away
(Outro)
Turn away...
The unspoken weight... remains...
